Alan Brennart on DC equity payments or lack thereof and why he won't be watching Gotham this fall... Bleeding Cool articleMore fodder why the Supreme Court needs to hear the Kirby case and make a ruling on it...it just might not be the ruling I want, but at least the case will be heard. -M

Morning people.
So, what is everyone's predictions for today's WC match? I'm cheering for Netherlands but it would be a fun final to have Germany and Argentina battling it out.

I'd like to see the Netherlands/Germany final, but Messi and Argentina are just too of a striking team and would put Netherlands to the test. It's going to be an interesting game.

I agree, should be a good game. I haven't been impressed with Argentina except for Messi and amazed they got this far.

For years I fed my schnauzers Science Diet, a premium dog food, but recently switched to Taste of the Wild, an all meat product. Similar to Blue Buffalo, but without the big name and about 30% less in price.
They loved the wild boar and tonight we're trying the venison/buffalo blend.

I pretty much feed my cats whatever premium, grain-free food happens to be discounted at Petco, assuming any of them are when I'm there. No real complaints so far ... well, except for those that arise from their innate cathood.
The ferals outdoors get Meow Mix & Purina Cat Chow. Those seem to suit the palate of an occasional possum as well, as I realized anew a few mornings ago when I went to replenish the bowls on the carport.

I've decided I'm not good at review threads. I just can't seem to keep my attention on much of anything any more comics-wise. My comic reading right now may be at an all-time low.

Our ferals had to compete with at least one skunk and a whole family of raccoons. I loved the latter; they were all attitude and chubby cuteness. Now the ferals are gone (I blame the dreadful winter we had, with too many rainy stretches separated by minus 40 spells) and the raccoons moved away when City Hall decided to send the nearby creek down an underground pipe. Only the skunk remains, but it'll have to fend for its own food.

In all fairness, I understand where DC's mind set is on this.
They don't want the "S" to be associated with anything that could be polarizing or negatively construed, even though all of us understand that the poor little boy who died here was a Superman fan.
The point is that a lot of people are going to vaguely remember the "S" but will definitely remember the grandparents starving the child.
The 2 things, abuse and the very prominent "S", become subconsciously linked.
It also sets a dangerous standard for the brand as the next guy in line says, you did it for that kid, why can't I have permission to use the "S" for stem cell research ?
What WB needs is a better spokesperson who can explain it in common sense terms. Looks like they've reversed course, as I figured they'd have to do in the face of insanely bad publicity. Hondobrode's well-reasoned rationale to the contrary, whoever made the initial call on this should be relieved of his or her job immediately, & then perhaps slapped around to the point of unconsciousness. I do find myself morbidly curious as to what sort of comments might've shown up on CBR on the matter, given the apparent mandate over there that everyone must love Big Brother.

So, as I mentioned in my review threads, I'll be going on vacation tonight and will not be here much until I return on July 15th. However, I'm planning a small surprise to reveal shortly after my return. If you're bored, feel free to spend the next six days guessing what it is

I've seen some as big as dogs. They completely freak me out. Ugh !

I just saw that too and am very glad they decided to reverse themselves.
Have you seen the statue ? It's precious.
Those monster grandparents adopted him only to starve the 5 year old down to 20 pounds where he died.
There are certain cases where the death penalty is justified I think, like this.

It seems common sense prevails when there is a PR backlash against the company. Apparently there was a social media protest where people were changing their icon/avatar/photo or whatever on Facebook and other social media sites to the S shield to protest DC's decision and it was fairly widespread. Good on whoever reversed course, but shame on them for it even being necessary. A simple response of, we need to review the matter and cannot decide at this time would have been a whole lot better than the reply they gave initially. -M
